Our Senior Research Fellow James Poborsa recently published “From the Illusory to the Political: The Photographic Experiments of Mo Yi,” in Life and Dreams: Contemporary Chinese Photography and Media Art (2018), which explores the widespread adoption of photography, video, and digital imaging by successive generations of Chinese artists, as seen in a range of visually inventive and emotionally charged works. Many of them reflect the artists’ immediate responses to the unprecedented changes that have swept through China in recent decades, transforming not just the urban landscape, but also key aspects of social relations and everyday life.
